R.I.P. Dave Arneson
« on: April 13, 2009, 12:06:19 am »
Dave Arneson, co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons, died a few days ago from cancer.  Gary Gygax, the other co-creator of the game, died last year in March.  Here's a fairly lengthy obituary I found, for those who are interested in learning more about his life or just taking a few minutes to pay respect.

Dave Arneson, creator of Dungeons and Dragons is dead. May you find peace playing at that big Dungeons and Dragons table up in Heaven my good fellow, and thank you for D&D. (Takes out a long sword and salutes.)

Thx 4 the info. Whether a given KC member ever played D & D or not (and I had the board game version before many of you were born), all of us have benefitted from the legacy of the quantum leaps in gaming & especially gaming culture, that emerged from it.

that sounds painful.
saluting with a long sword that is.

I am very hurt by this death.
